It would be fitting if Jimmy Carter passes away on the same day as his predecessor as POTUS - December 26th.

Esther Rantzen. Very DeathListy and very unwell. A gimmie.

Carter is like the deadpooling equivalent of a supposedly well-bred, well-trained racehorse which gets stuck in the stalls every single fucking race.

Of course I forgot she's been dead like 25 years!! Maybe she lives on in my heart! John Conteh will definitely be worried now!

Just Paul, Linda and John Conteh left. He must be feeling nervous!

Ruth Langsford's mother is getting more coverage on here than Jimmy Fucking Carter!

Ha ha!

Tutti Frutti was a great series. A few have gone associated with it.

How ironic that he should die in the same week as Terry Venables, the model for his Des Frankly character in Lenin of the Rovers, of whom I quoted of on Sunday.. "The man they're now calling El Dead." Edit: Seems like he died way back in July!

Surely Ozzy should get the coveted number 50 spot?

An ex-Secretary of State, an ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer and ex-punk, not a bad day's business for the Grim Reaper.

Although he was 100, Kissenger was a bit of a Brucie Bonus for the DeathList! They may well match 2020's total.

Henry Kissinger finally getting a dose of Realpolitik - when you're dead, you're dead!

Francis is already older than John Paul II when he died so I think that he should be considered.

Derek Adams has left Morecambe to become Ross County manager.

Jimmy White might be worth keeping an eye on. Looks noticeably thinner these days.

Nirvana certainly took note of the main riff for Eighties! But did Killing Joke themselves take it off the Damned?

El Dead.* *Hat tip to Lenin of the Rovers.

I re-watched the first episode - The Dead Planet - to compare and there were a couple of notable bits missed out, such as the scene with the metal creature which any story writing hack will tell you sets up a bit of foreshadowing and the bit where the TARDIS crew use the food machine and Ian says that the bacon and eggs confection had too much salt and The Doctor quickly replies "Well it shouldn't do, it's English!" (an adlib from Hartnell, I believe).

Louche bassist for Blur, Alex James is 54 today.

You couldn't make it up.

Would be ironic if Shane Macgowan were to follow seeing as Ackland was in the video of the single which beat the Pogues to the punch in Xmas '87!* *PSB won the battle but the Pogues definitely won the war though.

Rex Williams would be a suitably Ronniesque name to add to the pot.

Surely Jimmy's gonna do a Debbie Reynolds?
